January is National Dog Training Month

Did you know this month is national dog training month in the U.S.? We will all be in a position of making New Year’s resolutions, and these may include evaluating any undesirable dog behaviors. It might not necessarily be a case of having a dog that’s totally out of control, or perhaps you have a new addition to the family from Christmas time. But more a time to refine earlier training, or start from scratch with a brand new puppy.

Winter is a good time of year to consider some formal training – especially where it’s cold and wet outside, and spending some quality time indoors with your pet sounds like a good idea. Why not spend this time constructively? A good, quality dog training center may be just the ticket to get you and your dog on the right track.

However, before you go racing away to your nearest dog training provider, please do your research. Look for customer reviews to see what others think of the trainer, see if there are any trainers that specialize in your particular breed of dog – because, yes, different breeds all have their little quirks. Equally so, you don’t want to be travelling hours in the car either, so try and review trainers that are within a reasonable distance to where you live.

For some people it may not be possible to work with an actual trainer – whether you live too remotely, or you aren’t able to get to the facility, or perhaps it’s too expensive. There is help available online, which will also be able to get you started on a more formal dog training approach. Feel free to check out my dedicated dog training page.

I think this is a great page full of a lot of good information. I think the web layout is good and the theme fits well with your niche! I love dogs and when I get one I think this would be a great resource to keep up with! 🙂

What a wonderful article with beautiful photos! I am a HUGE supporter of dogs and the unconditional love they support.

I recently wrote an article on the benefits of emotional support dogs when suffering from illnesses. They really do provide us so much unconditional love that it is our responsibility to provide that back to them. Like you state, a trained dog is a happy dog! And a happy dog is a happy dog mommy!

This is a very thought provoking article. There is a lot of questions we should all have about the intentions of our government and big business (and their $â€™s directing what gets done in our country).

It is sad to see where our country is today, and I wonder what would the founding fathers of the US think?

Thank you for for stopping by and leaving a comment Zacariah. I firmly believe pets can better our quality of life. Dogs offer unconditional love and support to their human families, and sometimes it’s nice to get back to these simple principles.
